Apple's products are sometimes said to sell themselves, but sometimes they need a little help along the way. Showing products in the right light can be half the battle during the early days of a product's life cycle, and that's where a good photographer comes in. Apple has one of those, and he’s great, and has been interviewed in detail. Check out the video right after the jump.
Some very interesting information pertaining to Apple's iOS 7 has emerged today, which will see reasonably thorough makeover retaining many familiar aspects whilst "flattening" much of the user interface, as reported before. Although, as 9to5Mac reports, the changes will be some of the most significant the software has seen in its lifetime, it is also reckoned that users will have little trouble adapting to the changes.
Microsoft may be languishing behind Apple and Google in the mobile operating system stakes, but that hasn't stopped the Redmond outfit from coning out on the offensive with its latest Windows Phone ad. You can check it out after the jump.

A strange glitch in Apple's iMessage system, sees the words 'Obama' and 'surprise' deleted when entered in a certain way.

It wouldn't be a Friday, or indeed any other day of the week if someone, somewhere wasn't waxing lyrical about why Apple will, or indeed will not release a 5-inch iPhone.

Patently Apple does a pretty stellar job of keeping abreast of all the goings concerning the fruit company's intellectual property dealings, and has today spotted a couple of rather interesting patent applications that shed light on a system which would allow your iPhone to act as a "Smart Key." In walking towards your car, a Bluetooth connection from your device would enable you to automatically unlock the vehicle, in turn allowing you to avoid the cumbersome rigmarole of rooting around your pocket or purse for the key.

With Apple having announced the date earlier on today for WWDC 2013, we’re bracing ourselves for a marked rise in the number of Apple-related news, rumors and reports.

Many in the music industry may have hated it back when it launched, and some probably still do, but it's arguable that Apple's iTunes Store actually saved music.
